It is not, however, free from complications and the most frequent of those reported in the literature is sinusitis. A cutaneous fistula is a less frequent complication, but one that requires more than routine dental treatment and usually calls for maxillofacial surgery. Here, we present the case of a 64-year-old male suffering from sinusitis and with a cutaneous periorbital fistula as a complication; this occurred 8 years after the patient received dental rehabilitation with four zygomatic implants. This clinical report suggests that the trans-sinus apicoectomy of ZIs. Combined with antrostomy, presents satisfactory initial results and is a viable, one stage surgical alternative to treat sinusitis with cutaneous fistula, in the context of a complication involving a fixed dental prosthesis restoration of ZIs. Keywords: Zygoma implant, Zygoma quad, Implant complications, Sinusitis, Cutaneous fistula. Abbreviations: CBCT: Cone Beam Computed Tomography; TNLA: Trans nasal Lower Antrostomy; TZIA: Trans-sinusal Zygoma Implant Apicoectomy; ZIs: Zygoma Implants Introduction using ZIs by Brånemark (1998), several authors have made improvements and modifications to the original technique Zygomatic implant therapy was introduced as a way of [3]. The aim of these modifications has been to avoid accomplishing dental implant osseointegration in difficult complications and simplify the technique. Hence, Stella & cases without the need for bone grafting [1]. The procedure Warne (2000) introduced the sinus slot technique in order reduces morbidity, particularly in elderly patients and to exteriorize the implant and thereby avoid the intrasinus those with generally compromised health, in cases in which complications reported in the original technique described bone grafting would otherwise be hazardous. The total by Professor Brånemark [4]. Since then, several authors treatment time and cost are also be reduced in comparison have reported different degrees of technical refinements with traditional rehabilitation therapy such as bone grafts including the exteriorizing of ZIs from the maxilla [5]. [2]. Since the classical description of surgical placement J Den Max Surg, 1(1): 71-77 (2018) 71 Increasing the number of ZIs used in rehabilitation has also been proposed [6]. The use of immediate loading protocols has been shown to alter previous quality of life scores in treated patients [7]. However, this technique has also produced complications: the probability of a maxillary sinus presenting sinusitis is 2.4%; the chance of soft tissue infection around implants is 2.0%; and the risk of paresthesia of the infraorbital or zygomaticus-facialis nerve is 1% [8]. Figure 2: CBCT image. The aim of this study is to find a conservative approach treatment from the prosthesis point of view to treat severe complications successfully. The total release of implants has been described in the treatment options by the literature, but total function loose and the possibility to create an iatrogenic oro-antral communication difficult to close is the main concern. Case Report We present the case of a 64-year-old Caucasian male smoker (consuming more than 10 cigarettes/day) and has type II diabetes. He was under medical treatment with oral hypoglycaemiants and suffered hypertension controlled by medical treatment. The patient had received treatment Figure 3: CBCT- 3D reconstruction. at a private dental clinic, 8 years earlier. He had a fixed bridge supported by four ZIs (Ti-Unite®, Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg, Sweden). A provisional screwed over-denture was delivered 24 hours after initial surgery. The patient had not been subjected to any kind of control at the clinic after the definitive dentures were installed 6 months after surgery. The patient came to the emergency unit of our hospital with periorbital erythema and a cutaneous fistula with purulent exudate on the face (Figure 1). CBCT scan were performed (Figure 2, 3) which revealed sinus occupation (Figure 4) and leucocytosis, with 18,000 cells in the routine blood analysis. Orthopantomography (Figure 5).

This one of a kind program will feature 15 of the world’s Master Clinicians as they share their surgical and restorative protocols for full arch immediate reconstruction in a most unique mode. In keeping with the Pikos Symposium format, each speaker and team will have two hours to present their material including 20 minutes of direct Q & A with all audience questions texted during the speaker’s presentation. This format will allow each speaker ample time to develop their respective topic, as well as to provide for direct audience participation. This symposium is for both entry level and advanced level clinicians who desire to advance their knowledge of clinically relevant and evidence based state of the art surgical and prosthetic strategies for full arch immediate reconstruction. It will cover the entire spectrum of both the scientific and clinical elements of this most relevant area of implant rehabilitation from freehand analog based protocols to partially and fully guided immediate full arch reconstruction protocols. Pikos Symposium 2019 will include, but not be limited to, the following topics: • Indications and contraindications for full arch immediate reconstruction of edentulous and soon to be edentulous arches • Comprehensive diagnostic criteria for maxillary and mandibular full arch immediate reconstruction for edentulous and terminal dentate arches • Treatment planning

Zygomatic implants have been used for dental rehabilitation in patients with insufficient bone in the posterior upper jaw, due to, for example, tumor resection, trauma, or atrophy. Zygomatic implants are an alternative to complex free or vascularized bone grafting and distraction osteogenesis. A 42-year-old male patient with a severe defect in the right posterior maxilla, starting from the first canine region, which had occurred after tumor resection 3 years earlier, was referred to our department. One zygomatic implant (Brenemark System, Nobel Biocare, Goteborg, Sweden) to the zygoma and one dental implant to the canine region were placed. After a 5-month osseointegration period, a fixed denture was fabricated and adapted to the implants. Although the surgical and prosthetic procedures for zygoma implants are not easy, the final outcomes can be successful with appropriate planning.

  • Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics (2020)
    SUPPLEMENT ARTICLE Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics doi: 10.1111/jopr.13176 PREAMBLE—Third Edition THE PARAMETERS OF CARE continue to stand the test of time and reflect the clinical practice of prosthodontics at the specialty level. The specialty is defined by these parameters, the definition approved by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Education and Licensure (2001), the American Board of Prosthodontics Certifying Examination process and its popula- tion of diplomates, and the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) Standards for Advanced Education Programs in Prosthodontics. The consistency in these four defining documents represents an active philosophy of patient care, learning, and certification that represents prosthodontics. Changes that have occurred in prosthodontic practice since 2005 required an update to the Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics. Advances in digital technologies have led to new methods in all aspects of care. Advances in the application of dental materials to replace missing teeth and supporting tissues require broadening the scope of care regarding the materials selected for patient treatment needs. Merging traditional prosthodontics with innovation means that new materials, new technology, and new approaches must be integrated within the scope of prosthodontic care, including surgical aspects, especially regarding dental implants. This growth occurred while emphasis continued on interdisciplinary referral, collaboration, and care. The Third Edition of the Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics is another defining moment for prosthodontics and its contributions to clinical practice. An additional seven prosthodontic parameters have been added to reflect the changes in clinical practice and fully support the changes in accreditation standards.

The support of this technology to the zygoma implant placement aims to reduce the risks and the errors associated with this complex surgical and prosthetic treatment. Various navigation systems are available to clinicians currently, distinguished by handling, reliability, and the associated economic and biological benefits and disadvantages. The present paper reports on the different protocols of dynamic navigations following a standard workflow in correlation with zygomatic implant supported rehabilitations and describes a case of maxillary atrophy successfully resolved with this technology.
